Abstract

Kanha National Park is a Tiger reserve in Madhya Pradesh, India. It is known for its rich biodiversity, including tigers, leopards and deer. The park is a popular ecotourism destination that aims to promote sustainable tourism practices and support local communities. Kanha National Park supports local communities through employment and economic opportunities. Many local residents work in the park as guides, drivers and other subsistence jobs. In addition, the park receives revenue from visitor fees and other sources to fund conservation initiatives and community development projects.The surge of visitors to the park, however, can have a negative impact on the local community. For example, an increase in crime and disruption or exploitation of the local population may occur in the name of tourism development.
